QUESTION:
Is the boiling of water endothermic or exothermic? What is the sign of \(\Delta H\) for the boiling of water? For the condensation of steam?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
First, let’s see what is endothermic and exothermic process :
Endothermic process is a process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from the surroundings in the form of heat.
Exothermic process is vice-versa. It is the process or reaction in which the system gives out energy to the surroundings in the form of heat.
